I'm experiencing this ear pain in my right ear, specifically around the tragus area, and it only hurts when I touch it or sleep on that side. The doctor recommended Cetraxal online because of the COVID situation and mentioned it might be an ear infection. I've been using the medicine for a day, but there's no relief yet. I've had earwax issues a couple of times before, many years back. Could this be due to earwax again, or is it really an infection?

I'm really struggling with this issue, it's been going on for about a year and a half now. I've seen doctors, but nothing seems to be helping. It always feels like there's something stuck in my throat, almost like someone is tapping on it from the outside. There's also this mild pain in my ears. Sometimes it feels better, but other times the sensation is really strong. What could be causing this and what should I do next?

That could be postnasal drip,do steam inhalation and consume warm foods that will hellp you

I've been dealing with sinus issues for a really long time now. Every time I have something cold, I start sneezing nonstop. Even when my room fan is on high speed, I wake up sneezing with a lot of coughing, and it happens in summer too. It's been a year since I could eat ice cream. I've been on homeopathy for 4 months but no improvement. I keep taking Sinarest for temporary relief and go through almost a full strip every month. Is there any permanent solution for this? Would sinus surgery help or will I have to live with this sneezing forever?

septoplasty for DNS is advised to the patient if conservative treatment is ineffective.

Although salivary gland tumours are relatively rare, they can occur in any of the salivary glands, including the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands.
